Serena didn't push him to elaborate further. In all honesty, you didn't really care where he lived or what he did in general. All she really cared about was that he was okay. That was all she needed to know.“So, uh, what have you been up to since the breakup?”“Not much. We still hang out, obviously.” He chuckled.Serena glanced up quickly, a grin spreading across your face. She nodded slowly in agreement, biting her lip.“Yeah, I guess that would be pretty fun. I just don’t see how we’ll end up seeing each other as often anymore if we don’t have any classes together.”“We won’t be seeing each other as much as we used to,” he said casually, causing you to frown slightly. “I’m only going to be here a couple weeks this year, so we might only see each other during winter break. I doubt that we’ll ever be able to meet up outside of school again.”“Probably true. Still… it sucks. I don’t wanna lose you.” You frowned at yourself. Was that really how you felt? Was it just your usual way of
He stepped inside the room and closed the door behind him before walking over to you, sitting down on the edge of your bed beside you. Serena opened your eyes and met his gaze. His eyes were filled with concern, and yours were filled with apprehension. You were afraid that he would ask you about last night, but instead, he asked, “Why did you call me?”“Call you?”“Yes. I couldn’t help but hear my name coming from your mouth. What did you want?”You sighed softly. “I don’t know. I don’t know why I called you.”“Really? Because I distinctly remember you telling me that you missed me.”Your eyes widened momentarily. Your lips parted slightly in surprise. “Really? When?”“Just now, actually. You said, ‘I miss you. Please come back home.’” Serena couldn’t find the words to respond to him. You were speechless. How did he know all of that? You thought that you had managed to conceal the message well enough so that it was almost impossible for him to find out what you had told him. “How d
“Uh... yeah. I did talk to someone today. I was thinking about talking to someone new, too. I haven’t really talked to anyone besides you guys since I came to live with you, though. I haven’t really had a chance to speak with other people since I moved here.”“What are you gonna do about that? Aren’t you supposed to have friends? Like, real friends?”“I’ve already talked to one person that I consider a real friend, and I haven’t been able to get along with her very well.”“Why is that? Do you not get along with her?”“No, no,” you assured him quickly. “She’s great and everything.”Serena stopped yourself for a moment and added.“I’m just scared that we’re not gonna get along. That’s all.”“Are you really scared that you might end up getting along with her?” He asked. You nodded silently, and after a brief pause, he continued.“There’s no need to worry, Serena. I know that there’s something about her that makes you uncomfortable, but she seems to care about you a lot, and it shows in
But Serena glad that she finally starting to move on. Now, you can be honest with herself without fear of being judged, and now you’re living with your boyfriend and your parents, who love and support you no matter what you decide to do in your life. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll meet someone else who loves you unconditionally and unconditionally loves you back. Just maybe.For a while now, you’d been wondering whether or not you’ll ever get used to life in your new hometown. At first, you were excited, but now you’re starting to think that maybe moving away from your hometown wasn’t such a bad thing. It was hard to adapt to living in a place where you were unknown, but you were starting to understand that things were going to get better.And you’ve done your best to keep a positive attitude despite everything, despite everything that had happened. But even though you tried to hide it, you weren’t fooling anyone. Serena were tired and you wanted a break, but you didn’t want to show
“Yeah. I read it. There was a scene where the protagonist was running from her abusive stepfather and she accidentally bumps into another girl, causing them to fall. She apologizes to the girl, but then she realizes that she’s forgotten to introduce herself and she starts crying because she thinks she’s ruined their friendship. Then the reader goes to comfort her, telling her that they understand and that she’s not the reason that they fell. She asks them to continue watching and so they do, until the girl finally gets her memory back.” He explained.“Wow.” You said after realizing that he just told you about what he read in the book. “Did you like it?”“Yes, actually. But I still don’t know why I did that. I shouldn’t have let myself act that way. I thought I had control, that I knew what I was doing, but I didn’t. I didn’t realize that I couldn’t stop thinking about you, and that scared me.”You sighed softly. “I know. Believe me, I’m aware of what you went through with your stepda
The last time you heard such silence was when Serena were pregnant with Sergio. The doctor had warned you about having trouble breathing, but she refused to listen. Instead, she had convinced yourself that everything was going to be okay. Unfortunately, the pain that came with it became worse, and the pain became the most important thing in your life. She didn’t even notice the baby growing inside of you until after it was born. She were surprised to find out that Sergio hadn’t known about the pregnancy. Although she didn’t mind him knowing about it, she were also glad that he never asked you about it. She didn’t know how you would react if he had.Her eyes wandered across the living room, searching for something familiar to distract you. Her eyes landed on your father’s old guitar and you felt yourself becoming overwhelmed by emotions that you thought you had lost. You walked over to the chair that your father used to sit in, picked it up, and sat down in the middle of the couch,
"Yes, I'm pregnant again." You repeated for him, unsure of whether he'd understand you correctly. He stared at you, obviously trying to comprehend what you'd just told him, before speaking again."You mean, you're pregnant again? How many times are you gonna have kids now?" He sounded annoyed, almost irritated."How many times am I gonna have babies?" You repeated, feeling slightly offended. "There's no way to predict this kind of stuff, Sergio!"Sergio groaned quietly in frustration and ran a hand through his hair. "But you're sure that it's mine? There was no doubt whatsoever when I first found out but I'm still not sure, Serena..." He trailed off, not quite finishing his sentence.You stared at him, confused. "Why wouldn't it be yours? Of course it's yours! You're the only man for me." You exclaimed. He sighed heavily."Then, why don't you say it?" He raised his eyebrows at you. You hesitated for a moment, wondering how much Daniel really wanted to hear about your pregnancy. How
She pondered for a second, searching your memory for anything that you could remember from the views that you watched recently. Suddenly, you remembered that you had been thinking about getting a new letter recently because she had lost all your old ones. Sergio must have seen the look of realization on your face because he laughed and shook his head."No, that's alright. It doesn't matter." He reassured you.Serena rolled your eyes at him. "It matters. Besides, we can't possibly watch all of those beautiful flowers in the garden again. That would probably drive us crazy." She joked."True. Okay, what are you in the mood for today, love?" He asked, changing the subject. You paused for a few seconds as you tried to find something good enough for both of you to watch. "Do you wanna watch It together with me, that will be so relaxing." Serena suggested.Sergio nodded. "Sounds perfect. I've been wanting to watch this one anyways.""Really? Why?"Serena and Sergio spent the rest of the d
